Gyro Palace Cafe

Good Gyros but you need to call in advanced, it just takes too long. If waiting isn’t your thing then go for it.

Pros: Great gyro, I also liked the Spanakopita.
Cons: Staff a bit brusque but tolerable. Last time I visited I was charged 20% more than I should have for their lunch special and the Belly iPad wasn’t working. That’s going to keep me from coming back for a long time… update your menu prices if they have changed, as it’s a –2 stars for that.

Good gyro. Very happy to find 100% beef because I don’t eat baby animals (lamb). Very large portions of both gyro and baklava. Only thing missing was lettuce on gyro — by accident or design?

Great authentic greek food, friendly service and large portions. They also accept the Belly card for a percentage off.

This has got to be the best gyro place I have even had before! Definitely recommended

It’s ok. I live down the road but I don’t go there, I drive all the way to port Jeff & eat at gilshar, food is so much better.

I walked up to the counter and ordered a lamb gyro and this guy told me they don’t use lamb anymore but beef. I swear I almost walked out right then. How can you call yourself a Greek place and not serve lamb gyros? If I wanted to eat beef I could have gone to any danm restaurant, but I was in the mood for lamb so natually I though gyros. He gave me an excuse like «we don’t keep lamp because it expires sooner than beef» which to me translated as «too cheap to carry the real stuff.» My beef gyro was expensive and cold, and the cahsier was as pleasant as a cow’s bunghole.

This place used to be great. That is not that case anymore. Where is George??! The gyros have gotten smaller and the prices have risen. We used to eat here all the time because the food was great and George was very kind. Now — the staff is rude, the prices are outrageous, and the food is lacking. The gyro is still decent but you have to hurdle the steep prices, the rude employees, and the extreme wait time for take out. I recently ordered over $ 70 worth of food and was told it would take 35 minutes. Upon arriving, I was told it would be another 40 minutes. This place has gone down hill fast. I would steer clear unless you don’t mind the aforementioned grievances. What happened to George???

This is the local Greek joint, definitely not a bad stop either! The food is pretty good but it can be a little pricey unless you make it to the luncheon special. It appears they don’t have Tahini on hand though, definitely a necessity. If your in the area and want some Greek food, go for it.

I first went to Gyro palace back in 2012 for the first time and always suggest it when i have family or relatives visit on LI
I usually go there for take out but i have ate inside the cozy dining section. You order the food at the counter and they leave it up on the counter to take when ready. I always got the hummus appetizer which comes with pita tomato cucumber all over lettuce. It ROCKED! After that i got the beef gyro lunch special with a side of fries. I have yet to take someone there who has had the pride of saying they slayed the beast. This thing is a mammoth. It comes stacked up with raw onion and tomato under a single pita with the tziki sauce. This place is where its at if you are looking for a lunch idea other than a boring burger or chinese. Get over to this place.

So let me give you guys an overview. I have been going here for 4 years. I moved to sound beach back in 2010 I believe and this is when I decided to try new eats in the area. I’ve always loved gyros so I decided to try this place as a spur of the moment kind of thing.
This place is amazing to say the least. Of you see my profile I rarely ever give out 5 stars and this place nailed it. First off let me tell you that the staff is the best staff you will find in any small town mom and pops restaurant. The owner of the store is named George and he is super friendly. He is always at the register and is always happy to greet you with a smile. Seriously being 100% honest this guy is so freakin cool and hard working.
Now the food. I mainly go there to get gyros. Up front I have never been a fan of souvlaki so I never really got it (with exception that is). Their gyros are amazing. George always gives me a heavy helping of meat on top of my pita bread. No joke it is so much meat it is enough to feed a helping of like 2 – 3. Not only that, the tzatiki sauce that you get is amazing as well. Thick, not soupy. Very creamy and delicious. Their vegetables are always fresh.
I have had their lamb soulvaki and it was pretty good. Again keep in mind I do not like soulvaki. The lamb was not overcooked and juicy and it was very well seasoned.
I may be biased because the people that greet and serve you there are awesome and the portion sizes and the quality of food you receive are off the chain for the price you pay. The place is a little expensive but what you pay for is what you get. Trust me give this a place a shot. Go in and get a gyro. You will not be disappointed…

I’ve been to this place a number of times and although I can say I’m never truly been disappointed with the food I’ve also never wow’d by it either. The food is good. The price is a tad expensive but they do give you a lot for what you pay for. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of 3 or possibly 4, is the rude, unfriendly guy that either owns or runs the place. I’d say try it out but if you expect any smiles with your serve you’ll probably have to pay extra.

Food is really tasty! Their lentil soup and gyros are spot on. Portions are gynormous and always hot and fresh. Plus the staff is so polite and accommodating.
The only downsides are they do not have lamb and it can also get a little pricey.

Really good Greek food. Huge portions and the prices are good. Greek pizza with gyro meat on top is where it’s at. Love coming here!

Gyro Palace is surely one of the things I miss about my hometown. The food is delicious. My most favorite is a Greek salad with falafel, and a side of dolmades. Their salad dressing is homemade and delicious in every which way. Also, the pita bread that they use is perfect. Not too thick, but not thin and flimsy like a lot of the ones that other Greek restaurants often use. Falafel has always been prepared and cooked perfectly. I’ve had their gyro meat before too. Very tender and delicious.
And don’t get me started on their desserts… their galaktoboureko is out of this world!
Prices have gone up a bit, but the portions are always huge. I usually get a couple of meals out of them.
It’s a small restaurant, so seating is limited, but I’ve generally never had a problem. Even when I have gone with larger groups of people.
The staff has a very dry sense of humor, which I could see could maybe turn some people off at first. Once you get to know them, they’re wonderful, hilarious people who are very personable and warm. I love George!
Too bad they don’t deliver… three states away. :)

Went again tonight. Spur of the moment because my son wanted Dominoes and they are in the same shopping center. My son got his pizza and was done eating two slices before I emerged with my gyro. There has to be a better way…

Great food. Weird atmosphere. Rude staff arguing behind a piece of poster board propped up at the counter throughout my meal. Zumba class next door was audible through the walls. Floor was sticky under my table. Wouldn’t go back, the choice is yours…

Very delicious. The owner is very nice. It’s about $ 10 for a gyro but it come jam packed with meat. The yogurt sauce is delicious as well

As far as I’m concerned, this is one of the poorest Greek places in the area. I’ve been here several times and usually get the chicken souvlaki in hopes that it’ll be better but much to my dismay it’s not. The chunks of chicken are always so big that I have trouble wrapping the pita around it. In addition, the chicken is dry and poorly seasoned. Their yogurt sauce is very good and has more of a coleslaw like feel to it. Their rice pilaf that comes with the platter is ok, could be seasoned better. Their Greek salad always tastes fresh but once again, their house dressing also lacks flavor and excitement. I’ve also tasted their spanakopita which tastes freshly made. It seems like they have fresh ingredients though they just can’t figure out how to cook and season them properly.

Rocky Point is SO lucky to have a decent Greek restaurant. I LOVE this place. The staff is friendly, food is awesome & even being a vegetarian I can find something wonderful to eat.
I always order take-​out, which I recommend. The portions are so big, we usually make 2 meals out of them! Great value.
